Published examples of this type are about twice the weight of this coin and identified as diobols and trihemiobols. Our coin might be an underweight diobol or trihemiobol, but the weight is closer to an obol.

Eion was only about 3 miles from Amphipolis and after the 5th century was merely a seaport of its large neighbor. The denomination is either a diobol or trihemiobol. The significance of the obversetype is not clear, but presumably makes reference to the characteristic fauna of the region at that time.GS86791.

Eion, Macedonia, c. 460 - 400 B.C.

Eion was only about three miles from Amphipolis and from the late 5th century onwards served merely as a seaport of its much larger neighbor. The denomination is variously described as a diobol or trihemiobol. The significance of the obversetype is not clear, but presumably makes reference to the characteristic fauna of the region at that time.GA85755. Silver trihemiobol, SNG ANS 281, SNG Berry 29, Klein 151, BMC Macedonia p. 75, 21, SNG Cop 180 corr.

Galepsos, Macedonia, c. 400 - 348 B.C.

Galepsos was on the Strymon Gulf, about 20 kilometers east of Amphipolis, not far from the island of Thasos. No example of its coinage appears in any of the major collections and the town is not even mentioned in most publications on Greek coins. There may still be less than a dozen coins known for this city.SH56551. Bronze chalkous, V.
